The pseudogap phase of HTSC cuprates is associated with the formation of a system of quantum electron-hole (EH) dimers similar to the Anderson RVB-phase. We considered the specific role of electron-lattice relaxation in the formation of metastable EH dimers in cuprates with T- and T′-structures. In the model of charge triplets and S = 1 pseudospin formalism, the effective spin-pseudospin Hamiltonian of the cuprate CuO2 plane is introduced. In the framework of the molecular field approximation (MFA) for the coordinate representation, the main MFA phases were found: an antiferromagnetic insulator, a charge density wave, a bosonic superconductor with d-symmetry of the order parameter, and two metal Fermi-phases forming the phase of the "strange" metal. We argue that the MFA can correctly reproduce all the features of the typical cuprate phase diagrams. As for typical s = 1/2 quantum antiferromagnet the actually observed cuprate phases such as charge order and superconductivity reflect "physical" ground state, which is close to MFA-phases but with strongly reduced magnitudes of the local order parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
